Taj Mahal

Agra, India

For me, the Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal. The tomb is the centerpiece of a 17 hectare complex including a mosque and a guest house set in formal gardens.
The Taj Mahal was designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being 'the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage'. In 2007, it was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders of the World initiative.
